How to read this. Louisiana suppresses results under FERPA and marks groups under ten students as NR. Where the Advanced share is masked as under 5%, proficiency is derived from the reported lower achievement levels. Schools without a reportable Black student result are excluded rather than shown as zero — 1,016 of the state's schools have reportable data. Because every state sets its own proficiency standard, Louisiana figures should not be compared against another state's.
